Seek and you will find...

Today while I had a wee bit of time to "look", I decided to stop at the new local antiques store and another really great one that has been around a while. I'm always on the look out for antique canning jars, I'm also collecting antique kitchen... tools? I already had three really nice jars, a really old biscuit cutter, a rolling pin, potato masher, a dipper, and an enamel funnel so my collection is growing. Check out my finds!




For about $39 I found.... a really pretty tin (?) vegetable bowl with fruit on the outside. Two antique Ball jars with solid metal lids, a really ... odd canning jar with glass top and metal pull down tabs, a pyrex (?) glass vegetable dish, an antique hand seive, TWO beaters which I JUST LOVE, and two vegetable market baskets (okay so they were only 25 cents each and totally not antiques but I liked them). Great day for "looking."



AND those wonderful chics over at SITS are giving away an ADORABLE handbag so go enter.... or... don't (might make me have a chance to win LOL)...

Wordless (okay almost) Wednesday

This past weekend, my son, his fiance, my daughter, my sister, and I repainted quite a bit of my house. I just love a yellow kitchen. It's a pale yellow and just looks so ..... happy! I've "rediscovered" some of my favorite things in the process...

I collect antique canning jars. (okay so I just started and only have three but I love those three old jars) I also LOVE the little Yorkie shown here!
My foyer looks so... crisp with its new barely offwhite coat of paint.
